Comparative Study of Preoperative Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology And Ultrasonography with Postoperative Histopathology of Thyroid Nodule
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: About 70% of discrete thyroid swelling is clinically “isolated” and 30% are dominant. In India the prevalence of a palpable thyroid nodule in the community is about 12.2% Material and Method: A total of 100 patients of thyroid swelling entered the study. This is a prospective comparative study of patients admitted for solitary thyroid nodule at Rajendra Institute of Medical sciences (RIMS). Results: The sensitivity and specificity of FNAC was 85.71% and 100% respectively. All malignant lesions on FNAC were confirmed by histopathology indicating its excellence. Therefore FNAC helps in planning the correct management and avoids second surgery and the sensitivity and specificity of USG was 78.94 % and 85.33% respectively. Therefore use of ultrasound along with FNAC will improve the diagnostic accuracy to higher level and help in better management Conclusion: Combination of both FNAC and Ultrasound will give optimal results and avoid mismanagement.
